I figured it out. Within SQL Management Studio you have to right-click on the database -> Properties -> Files -> Owner field. Change this field to the login name/account that you want associated with the ‘dbo’ username for that database. Please keep in mind that the login name/account you choose must already be setup in the sql server under Security -> Logins
